Flat-pack assembly price guide for Hackney
JobFromTypical timeWhat sets the price
Chest of drawers or bedside units£4530–50 minA single carcass with drawer runners — the fastest item in the catalogue.
Double or king bed frame£6545–90 minSlats, side rails and a headboard, with the frame squared so it does not creak later.
Two-door wardrobe£851.5–2 hrsDoors have to be aligned on the hinges and the carcass anchored to the wall.
Sliding-door or corner wardrobe£1502.5–4 hrsSliding tracks must be dead level or the doors drift; corner units need building in place.
Desk, bookcase or shelving unit£5040–70 minQuick to build, but tall units are anchored to the wall as standard.
Full room, priced by the hour£45/hrBy quoteBedroom or nursery sets are cheaper by the hour than item by item once you pass three pieces.

Prices assume the boxes are on site and the parts are complete. Anti-tip anchoring is included on every tall unit. Rubbish removal of the packaging is free where the crew has kerb access; where a permit or bay suspension is required for the van it is itemised in the quote.

Working in Hackney

Why Hackney is not a generic London job

Hackney Empire and the Lee Valley marshes is the landmark; the working detail below is what actually changes the price and the method in Hackney.

The housing stock

Hackney is built from warehouse lofts, london fields victorian terraces, big la estates and olympic-era new-build, and the mix changes street by street — Clapton (E5), Dalston (E8) and De Beauvoir Town (N1) each behave differently on the day.

Access, parking and permits

London Borough of Hackney sets the constraint: extensive low-traffic neighbourhoods with modal filters, seven-day cpzs and narrow one-way terraces. Locally that means narrow terraced streets, permit bays and marsh-side roads that flood after heavy rain and kingsland road red route, market-day congestion and narrow permit-only side streets. Hackney sits outside the Congestion Charge zone, so only ULEZ applies to the van and the quote is that much simpler.

London Borough of Hackney rules

Most flats in Hackney are leasehold, and managing agents here routinely ask for a public liability certificate and a method note before a contractor drills anything. We send both with the booking confirmation.

How the borough got this way

Why it looks like this: a market-garden parish absorbed by victorian terraces, bombed heavily, rebuilt with estates, then reshaped by the creative industries.

Local questions

Flat-pack assembly in Hackney — your questions

  • How much does a flat-pack build cost in Hackney?

    Chest of drawers or bedside units starts at £45 in Hackney, and the ladder runs up to £45/hr for the largest job on the table above. Item count and the type of unit set the price. Sliding-door wardrobes, bunk beds and corner units take two to four times as long as a chest of drawers. The borough is outside the Congestion Charge zone, so there is no charge to pass on — only ULEZ, which our vans are compliant with.

  • Which Hackney postcodes do you cover?

    We cover the whole borough: E1, E2, E3, E5, E8, E9, EC2, N1, N16 and N4. On the ground that includes Clapton, Dalston, De Beauvoir Town, Hackney Central, Hackney Wick and Haggerston.

  • How quickly can you get to Hackney?

    Next-day slots are usually available and we hold Saturday appointments for delivery days. Central London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.

  • What about parking and permits in Hackney?

    Extensive low-traffic neighbourhoods with modal filters, seven-day CPZs and narrow one-way terraces. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with London Borough of Hackney and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.

  • Do you work in Hackney flats and blocks with no lift?

    Yes. Warehouse lofts, London Fields Victorian terraces, big LA estates and Olympic-era new-build is exactly the stock we work in daily. Where there is no lift, the crew size is set by the floor level at quote stage, so a third-floor walk-up is priced as a third-floor walk-up rather than re-quoted on the doorstep.

  • Are you insured and licensed for work in Hackney?

    Fitters carry £1m public liability cover and anchor every tall unit, which is both the manufacturer's instruction and what building-safety-conscious managing agents expect. Certificates go out with the booking confirmation, which is what London Borough of Hackney tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.

  • Who turns up, and with what?

    One fitter for most items; two for sliding-door wardrobes, bunk beds and anything that has to be carried up a shared stairwell. Vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, which matters in every Hackney postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.

  • What is not included?

    Missing or damaged parts — we will fit what arrives and return once the replacement lands, Fitted kitchens and built-in wardrobes, which are a joinery job and Electrical connection of integrated appliances. If something on that list turns up in Hackney, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.

I booked the services for putting together some new bedroom furniture. This was agreed for 3 pm. I got a call at 3pm to say they were going to be late and be there at 5, they arrived at 5:30. The workmanship and the guys who fitted it was excellent and they were very friendly… Read in full →
